Any solutions for Europeans on Twitch?

Hello all,

I'm not entirely sure this is the correct sub-forum so, if it is, sorry mods, wasn't on purpose!

Anyhoe, until very recently I was using a Chrome Extension called "EU Twitch Lag Fix" or something like that which enabled me to watch Twitch streams in Source quality with little to no hiccups (it used some sort of proxy, idk) but it got discontinued so now I'm back to having to watch streams on Low or Medium and they still do a lot of hiccups and slow downs and, from what I've read, this happens to EU players trying to watch american-based streams.

So, my question is, does anyone know anything to help solve this? I use Chrome but I don't mind using another browser if there's some extension like the one I mentioned that solves this.

And before it's asked, I live in Portugal, my connection is a fiber optics wire and my contract is for 100 MB/s download and 10 Mb/s upload (though I usually get 6). And yes, I do speedtest my connection often and it's meeting what has been contracted. I even tried testing it on an American server and it stil got the expected values (and only 100ms, which isn't so bad considering the distance).

I don't know. I live in the Netherlands. 100mbit up and down and I get hick ups on source only sometimes (with LoL tournies etc.) and on high pretty much never. Never, ever, ever on low though. Maybe because Amsterdam is more of a hub?

I have the same problems on Twitch since 3 or 4 days. The stream stops every 15-20 seconds and continues after 3-4 seconds. Then it sometimes skips ahead a few seconds, probably because the stream is falling behind. It does that on Source, High, Medium, Low (not on Mobile). It makes streams un-watchable.

I live in the Netherlands. I used to watch streams on Source (and before that on 720p/1080p). I've been watching Twitch for about a year and a half and never had these problems. YouTube is still fine, it's seems to be a Twitch only problem.

Well, funnily enough, and I'm kind of ashamed of saying but, while the Twitch streams lag a LOT on Chrome (even on low quality) I've found that I can watch any stream on SOURCE quality using Internet Explorer and have no issues at all.

I literally have IE back on my taskbar for the sole purpose of watching Twitch streams.
